52 Suppliers 102-9 | 103-21 103-3 | 308-1 | 412-1 | 414-1 For Vivara, integrity and trust in relation- ships are some of the measures needed to guarantee business continuity. Our supply chain comprises suppliers of production inputs - gold, silver, colored gems, diamonds - and national and in- ternational partners in the segments of jewelry, Life, accessories, and watches. In 2021, 69.63% of products received for sales were manufactured in our factory located at the Manaus Free Trade Zone (up 1.19% over the previous year), and the remaining 30.37% were acquired from national and international suppli- ers. We have approved a new supplier for natural gems and another one for diamonds important measures for development of the supply chain, as the process has high quality and competi- tiveness criteria. - Through our Value Chain Development Program, 100% of our direct suppliers and service providers are analyzed ac- cording to environmental and social criteria, by means of due diligence and reputational analysis, or audits. All new suppliers not eligible for due diligence and audit are also informed about the Supplier Code of Conduct, a corporate guide with the objective of setting the re- quirements and general principles that should govern the ethical and social and environmental conduct of all our busi- ness partners. In 2021, the scope and reach of the supplier reputation analysis were ex- panded to cover other activities and services. With the widening of the crite- ria, we began to make this analysis for engineering and expansion partners as well. With this in mind, we set evaluation levels based on criticality. For the max- imum level, the reputational analysis is thorough, including media analysis, as a criterion for risk assessment and mitiga- tion. There are three types of risk analy- sis: assessments by approval, periodic, and on demand, to ensure the lowest possible exposure. We do not condone child, forced, slave or slave-like labor, or raw materials from illegal mining in our operations, nor do we establish commercial or institutional relationships with companies engaged in such practices, whether suppliers, ser- vice providers or partners. In 2021, we continued our direct supplier audit pro- gram and completed the audit schedule as established. We did not observe re- stricting situations in any of our suppli- ers regarding child labor, slave or slave- like labor, or raw materials without due proof of origin in the evaluation carried out during the audit. 408-1 | 409-1 Our Supplier Code of Conduct has spe- cific clauses regarding these issues. In the case of child labor, our partners must comply with the legal require- ments for programs involving young apprentices, especially those related to working hours, working conditions, wages, health and safety. • B Supplier Network Audit and Development Program 103-21103-3 Our supplier audit program seeks to verify social, environmental and governance as- pects in compliance with our principles and values outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct, as well as to disseminate best practices in our supply chain.
